The History Of The Video Game Industry, Flowchart-Style

This is awesome. Thanks for the heads up Brad, and thanks to Games Are Evil with providing us with something like this. This kind of stuff really interests me.

It's sad seeing Westwood Studios on there... :( the made C&C what it is, and EA took it down the garbage

No apogee or 3d realms? FAIL

That chart is wrong on a few things that I can see:-
 

• No mention of Melbourne House / Beam Software, yet it shows Ocean being the progeny of Infogrames when in actual fact Infogrames purchased OCEAN as part of a collective deal which also included Melbourne House
  
• OZISoft was not connected to Infogrames at all and were an offshoot of SEGA of America called SEGA/Ozisoft back in the early 90s when SEGA tried to open distribution inroads into the SEA Market via Australia.  Also they didn't program, only published localised versions of games.
• The EIDOS section makes no mention at all of Sales Curve Interactive (SCI) which is the company whom EIDOS came from after SCI took over what had originally been CORE (the company who made the Tomb Raider franchise).
  

A poster would be awesome.

" I like it! Shame it's missing some key players like Valve. "

Am I completely missing Interplay and subsidiaries?

I love how simple Rockstar made everything when they acquired those other studios. It's just so streamlined. 
 
That graph could really benefit from large colored blocks designating the Sony Territory, Sega Territory, etc.

There's missing quite a lot of developer houses old and new in the likes of Broderbund (Prince of Persia), Digital Integration (AH-64, Hind), and all the mentioned above already, but it's nice sheet anyway. 

" Activision owns Origin systems.  Where is my new Wing Commander ???  Or Syndicate "

I love me a flow chart. This is a beast indeed.

This made my head hurt, 

Does anyone see Interplay and Black isle??

Does this still exist somewhere? Even if not updated
